1. While I only go in when my basket of laundry is overflowing (about every other month) they always remember my name when I come in. I think that's pretty impressive. Wouldn't it be cool if the guy at the burrito joint I frequent on a weekly basis could do that?
2. They give advice and educate me on the best way to clean or dry clean my clothes. Now, they don't have to tell me how they are going to wash and press my shirts, but with this simple education in dry cleaning I now respect that they take their job very seriously.
To some, dry cleaning is a commodity. Coupons can be found anywhere and everywhere. Premier always just gives everyone 30% off dry cleaning and $1.59 per shirt. No more coupons for them, they just focus on their service efforts. I was recently mailed two $5 gift certificates from a local competitor, Morellis. My wife had taken a comforter there awhile back as that is where her Mom recommended to take it. Apparently my Premier dry cleaning stories have not been significant enough for her to listen, or she's just tuned me out at this point in our relationship. At any rate, Morellis hadn't seen us for awhile and sent us the gift certificates. I thought it was a nice touch, but it just wasn't compelling enough for me to make the switch.
Wow, I complain about the luxury cost of dry cleaning, but $10 wasn't enough to overcome remarkable service! That's saying something.
